4993 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مُهَنَّا أَبِي شِبْلٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ مِنْهُ جَيِّدًا» عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَاسِعٍ، عَنْ شُتَيْرٍ، قَالَ: نَصْرٌ ابْنُ نَهَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، - قَالَ نَصْرٌ - عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «حُسْنُ الظَّنِّ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْعِبَادَةِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: مُهَنَّا ثِقَةٌ بَصْرِيٌّ

Commentary
